THE GUARDIAN: Unclear how encounter between Britain’s shortest-serving PM and US president was initiated and how long it lasted
After spending time and resources crisscrossing the Atlantic to cultivate the support of the Maga faithful, Liz Truss has finally got the prize she apparently craved: a photo with Donald Trump.
Britain’s shortest-serving prime minister tweeted a photo on Sunday showing her in the company of the US president at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
“Right about everything,” Truss posted, tagging the president on X.
Trump had yet to record the meeting on his own social media feeds, focusing instead on promoting the new documentary made by his wife, Melania. It is unclear how long the meeting between Truss and Trump lasted and how it was initiated. » | Ben Quinn | Political correspondent | Sunday, September 15, 2026
If Truss can conclude that Trump is “right about everything”, I can conclude that Truss is wrong about everything! 😊
Truss screwed up her premiership: she lasted in power only for 49 days, and even that short time in office enabled her to cock everything up! So I would counsel against placing too much importance to her warped and twisted viewpoints.
The woman’s politics were screwed up from the start. She was raised in a very left-leaning, socialist household, then she started to see the light and became a liberal and joined the Liberal Democrats whilst at university, before turning right.
Different from Margaret Thatcher, who famously stated that ‘this lady is not for turning’, this lady—Truss—definitely was and is for turning. In fact, she turns so much that she must surely be dizzy!
Now, she belongs to Trump’s fanatic superfans. For her, Trump can do no wrong. But in fairness to Lizzie, she is good for one thing: she’s good for a laugh! — © Mark Alexander
